The XP Administrator is a software utility program which allows XP4000 Series
KVM switches to be configured through a Windows based graphical interface.
This utility, used in conjunction with the XPDU and XPIA modules of the XP4000
system, provides a centralized point of control for administrators of medium to
large data centers. The intuitive, graphical interface with drag and drop capability
makes the XP Administrator an ideal tool for assigning and maintaining server/
user access to your XP4000 Series switch.
The XP Administrator makes the configuration of larger systems fast and easy. The
Auto Configure feature lets you create long lists of identical server or user profiles
with a few quick clicks of the mouse - all from one pop-up window.
If you have an existing XPDU server/user database, you can import it into the XP
Administrator, update and organize it as needed, then export it back to the XPDU
for on-screen channel identification and selection. XPDU modules are automatically
updated with the latest database.
The XP Administrator allows you to organize your servers into meaningful groups
for easy identification and assignment. Once a server group is established, the icon
for the group can be dragged and dropped onto the icon for any user for the
convenient assignment of access to a group of servers. Similarly, the XP
Administrator allows the creation of user groups as well. All members of a user
group have the same access to each server included in the group. For customization,
additional servers can be added to individual users.
The XP Administrator features lock-out capability for greater control over database
editing. When enabled, a database can only be edited through the XP Administrator.
An unlocked system can be edited at the user consoles by a user with administrative
privileges.
